In this episode of The Next Level podcast, Craig Smith and I dive into the topic of stress and share actionable strategies to keep it in check. We start by highlighting an exciting free scholarship opportunity for our next experience round kicking off at the end of January. Then, we unpack our "daily stress pack"—the routines and activities we use to maintain balance and regulate cortisol levels. When life throws curveballs, we rely on our "emergency kit" to navigate high-stress moments effectively. We also touch on the science of stress and encourage you to build your own stress-relief toolkit to stay grounded and resilient. Don't miss this empowering conversation!
